Temptation of Wife (Korean: 아내의 유혹; RR: Anaeui Yuhok), also called Lure of Wife, is South Korean television series starring Jang Seo-hee, Byun Woo-min, Kim Seo-hyung and Lee Jae-hwang.

[6][7] Goo Eun-jae (Jang Seo-hee) graduated as a make-up artist major at a university and began preparations to study in France.

Her dreams to study abroad are halted by pregnancy after Jung Gyo-bin (Byun Woo-min) takes advantage of her when she is drunk.

She decides to marry him and give up on her dreams in order to be a responsible mother to her unborn child.

Eun-jae's pregnancy ends in a tragic miscarriage when she tries to protect her mother in law, Baek Mi-in (Geum Bo-ra), from being pushed down the steps by a creditor.

Her family was on the way to the Goo's household in order to have dinner with them when Ae-ri threw her clothes and doll at her father who was driving.

Eun-jae's brother, Kang-jae, learns about the situation, upon which he sets out in anger to assault Gyo-bin.

This event leads to Kang Jae and his mother in forcing Eun-jae to sign consent for a divorce.

After the divorce, Gyo-bin and Ae-ri marry while Eun-jae moves back to her own family's house.

Eun-jae refuses to do so because of which Gyo-bin drags her to a gynecologist in Sokcho, forcing her into aborting their baby.

When her mother, Lady Min refused, So-hee told Gun-woo to marry her secretly anyway.

Lady Min arranged for another girl to marry Gun-woo, hoping that So-hee will give up and come back.

Through the help of Gun-woo and the doctor, Eun-jae is allowed to live in the hospital for free where she worked at the same time to show her gratitude.

Thereafter, Eun-jae takes on the identity of So-hee, in order to seek revenge against Gyo-bin and Ae-ri who had destroyed her life and tried to kill her.

Ae-ri gets even more suspicious and calls Gyo-bin when she sees So-hee (Eun-jae) and Gun-woo embrace each other.

So-hee (Eun-jae) reassures that she loves Gyo-bin and that's why she has married him, ensuring him that Gun-woo and she are just close siblings.

In order to complete her revenge, she tricks Gyo-bin to give all his family assets to her and her "mother" Lady Min, his father's company, their house, his mother's house and land and causes their family to go bankrupt.

She gets mad at Eun-jae because Gun-woo has fallen in love with her and they had planned a wedding where So-hee later crashes.

Lady Min persuades Gun-woo to marry So-hee because he thinks her depression would get better and Soo Hee won't ruin Eun-jae's life.

Doctors reluctantly tell her to get an abortion so she could receive the cancer treatment, but she adamantly refuses.

Overwhelmed by her guilt and knowing that she will die someday, Ae-ri goes to the ocean to commit suicide but Gyo-bin attempts to save her.

Furthermore, there was a lawsuit involving author Jung Hye Kyung, who claimed that Temptation of a Wife plagiarized her book Janus' City.
